Today I received a pair of packages. \u00a0One was like Christmas! \u00a0Back in spring training I sent some stuff to Josh S (jslaw on SCN) and he did a great job (as he always does for me). \u00a0I left him some items to get signed from his hometown Marlins as well as some other teams for over the summer. \u00a0He did not disappoint! \u00a0He also included me in a private signing with a friend of his with Jose Fernandez. \u00a0This was before Fernandez had to get Tommy John surgery and was at his meteoric rise (and was the stud of my fantasy baseball team). \u00a0He also thought of me with a couple tickets during the season too. \u00a0I received from him the following:
\n2 Jose Fernandez OMLBs
\nJose Fernandez 1st Win Ticket
\nKevin Slowey 1st Win Ticket with “1st Win”
\nMarcell Ozuna ML Debut Ticket. \u00a0This one is awesome. \u00a0Josh asked for MLB Debut. \u00a0Marcell’s English must not be too good as he wrote “MLB Day View”
\nJarrod Saltalamaccia Sports Illustrated (11.04.2013)
\nBJ Upton AND Justin Upton Sports Illustrated (10.07.2013)– Now I need to find a way to get Kate Upton to sign it! \u00a0\ud83d\ude42
\nAndrew Heaney ML Debut ticket
\nGregory Polonco 1st HR ticket 06.13.2014 (unsigned)
\nJacob deGrom 1st Win ticket 06.21.2014 (unsigned)
\nAs always, Josh does a phenomenal job for me. \u00a0I look forward to spring training next year with my stuff! \u00a0Thanks Josh!<\/p>\n
The other package I received today had a baseball signed by the latest Cuban to join the Major Leagues, Rusney Castillo. \u00a0Dan C (scfdff on SCN) got Rusney on a baseball on September 3rd and I was the first one to offer on it. \u00a0It arrived today and is a pretty neat item to add to the collection. \u00a0I missed out on getting Yasiel Puig when he first started and was not going to miss Rusney. \u00a0The ball looks awesome! \u00a0Thanks Dan!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
